Natural FET - No follicles yet, is it normal?

Hi Ladies,

hoping to have a natural FET this month but not sure it's going to happen :(

AF started last monday evening , but didn't have the heavy flow I usually do on day 1, much lightler and it was more brownish than red. No more spotting from Friday, so short as well.

Went in for a scan today, my lining was at 6mm but my ovaries were quiet, no follicles.

I asked the nurse if it was a bad sign, but she was in a hurry and only said that it may be too early in my cycle and to come back on Thursday for the next scan to see if there is a folli or not. She didn't say anything about the lining.

The past 3 months my cycles were about 28days with what seemed to be ovulation around day 14. So I'm hoping that maybe it was too early to see a follicle , but because the lining is already 6mm I'm worried it's all gone wrong this cycle.

I know everyone is different but would any of you who had a natural FET can say more about their timeline? Thanks in advance XX

Yes I m hoping it was too early.

My cycles used to be 25 days until my lap in March, it s longer since ... so i m hoping that everything will be fine. Supposed to be less stressful 🙈🤔 not sure about that...

Thought the same for healthy eating but i ve been good for all my cycles and never had a BFP... so without going too crazy I did have some pavlova over the weekend and some ice cream last night 🍨.... dont think that s going to change much and keeps us sane 🤪

Good luck to you xx
